new C_AA record for yard* gained j
rushing when he rambled for 100T j

tittle power it did possess and
they had to settle for a 1-1 tie with
The Bt-wns* defense loctked like
the Browns' defensive teams of
old, but the offense just did not
have tt. W* would Ilk* to say that
wa think they would have perhaps
had not been «-tlling the i-gtials.
We certainly did not like tote of
his third down cans tn the second
quarter when he called passes on
third down and one. when he needed to maintain possession of tht
ban.
If Plum had been having a .rood
day tt would have been a good
call but the Giants were sitting In
Plum's lap ail evet-dng, ao v5e
could not see It. Even If Ray Ren-
fro had been able to hold the pass,
which he dropped, we would have
still thought that it was a bad call.
0 EARL BATTEV, of the Min-
neapolls Twins, was the only sepia among the 16 qualifiers tor tbe
American League batting crown.
Battcy'* -*»-- placed him slsth
among the men who had been to
